bill clinton's economic success was based on that budget deal, nothing anything bill clinton did. you have to remember there were very tough spending controls in the bill. there were caps on discretionary spending which exceeded the cost funs to be sequestered. those were rigid controls. they were pay as you go. if you wanted to increase spending you had to raise taxes or pay for it and cut other spending. it is interesting. i remember the 1998 convention clearly. i remember sitting in sessions where the president never wanted -- the then-vice president never wanted to put the no new tax pledge in the speech because he thought it was irresponsible. the political folks prevailed and said you must do this for your conservative base. 1990 came around. it was clear to him that the no new tax pledge could sink his re-election but he did what he thought was right and he let the political chips fall where they may. points of light. 1,000 points of light. the national community service act of 1990. john sununu talked about the civil rights ability revision of 1991 and our opposition to cr
